Introduction
※October 2021 expected release date
Travel guitar「HT-BEETLE/R」.
The label「HT」has two meanings, “Tiny” and “Travel”.
The「BEETLE」part comes from its rounded shape and the fact that much like beetles its natural habitat is the outdoors, traveling and traversing nature!
515mm Scale
Among all the travel guitars and mini guitars we have released so far, we designed this one to be even smaller in size than any other guitar before, with a 515mm scale and an overall length of about 785mm.
▲Size comparision(From left to right, a regular acoustic guitar、HC-630TRV、HM-115、HT-BEETLE)
It is easy to carry around, and the size makes it easy to play anywhere.
All laminated rosewood body
The body of this high-spec model is made of laminated rosewood, and despite its small size, you can feel the deep bass and sparkling treble that only rosewood can provide.
In addition, it is decorated with rope binding, which gives it a lovely look.
Headway original pickup「HG-3」
Equipped with Headway’s orginal「Headway HG-3」pickup.
It is a multifunctional pickup with a 3-band EQ, a phase switch, and tuner function.
The LED lights up when the unit is activated, making it highly visible even in dark live music venues, making it easy to tune and set controls.
Demo video by by guitarist Maruyama Tatsuya!
To try out the new -HT-BEETLE/R- we called fingerstyle guitarist Tatsuya Maruyama, who has a worldwide following on Twitter, Instagram, and other social networking sites!
To change the atmosphere a bit, we went to record the demo video outdoors!
We borrowed a campsite in the summer where it feels like the HT-BEETLE is most at home, and recorded the video surrounded by the chirping of birds, the rustling of plants and trees, and the sound of a crackling bonfire.
